    I've got a 2010 Honda Pilot Touring 4WD with over 180K. We bought it with 75K and have never had a mechanical problem with it. It shifts just as smooth as the day we bought it. As a family of 6 it has been an excellent vehicle. We love it and will replace it with another Pilot. I especially like this (the 2nd gen)-I like boxy over the more minivan look of the third gen.

    My father has always been in the predicament of whether he should buy the MDX or the Pilot, including this past year. And each time including this one he bought the Pilot for the same reasons you mentioned. Now we live in the northeast so we obviously got the AWD version, but thankfully we haven’t had any problems with the transmissions or drivetrains. We currently have 3 Pilots, a 2006, 2011, and a 2019. They’re all great vehicles.

  • @dwilsonjr78

    Honda AWD systems are actually reliable if properly maintained. My recommendation for maintenance is changing the rear differential fluid at the same time as the transmission fluid which is ideally around every 30K miles.

    I like our 2009 Pilot but buyers should watch out for fouled plugs from bad rings caused by the 3 cylinder ECO mode. Honda even extended the warranty on the Pilot due to this issue so keep that in mind when you're looking at used ones. I disabled the ECO mode on mine to make sure oil gets to all 6 cylinders all the time. Not worth the risk

It has been fairly reliable, but I have had a couple parts go bad, I listed them below:
    Alternator - replaced at 85K
    Radiator - replaced at 97K
    Oil Control Valve - replaced at 120K
    Other than I have followed the factory maintenance schedule and I am on my 3rd set of tires and will finally be replacing the rotors later this year. It is my daily driver and I am hoping to make last as long as I can.

      Look into a VCM Muzzler. This will almost 100% fix your oil consumption problem. These cars have variable cylinder management systems which shuts off a bank while running on the highway. This leads to increased engine wear and oil consumption. Most thing I have read online say that once you disable that system it will stop consuming oil. 👍

It should be a rock solid point. Underneath subframes you'll see very large bolts usually with large steel beams, it's safe to jack from those.

These new Pilot transmissions are very high maintenance and the oil pump inside the trans WILL go out between 80-120k miles if the fluid is not changed every few oil changes or every 20-30k miles!! My shop foreman actually changes the trans fluid in his wife’s 2016 Pilot every other oil change.

    I bought a2018 Honda Pilot and never had an issue with it since new. Just oil change and filters. Good on gas even with all wheels drive. Lot of space. What a good car.

    We have a ‘16 pilot (2WD, v6). It had 117k miles on it. For ride comfort and features we love it. Lots of room and great for family trips. Unfortunately our transmission does this spring - just 2 weeks after we had a full transmission flush. Honda corporate got involved, and even though we were post warranty, they covered 60% of the cost. We also added on a transmission cooler to help us with our towing (we have a small travel trailer).
